Dallas has very few real deli options, but one super reliable source for big pastrami sandwiches, kosher dills, great breakfasts, and the best matzo ball soup in Dallas come from Deli News located in North Dallas.
The jumbo sandwiches are epic, with choices such as the triple-decker, more meat than any human can logically wrap their fists around, one pound pastrami sandwiches that are smoky good and flown direct from a secret source in New York (along with their bread), and the pound cheese burger. Most probably think kreplach, lox, chopped liver and knish when they think of Deli News, and they should. All terrific. But there are a slew of burgers to choose from as well. Continue reading

Ireland was a major producer of salted meat, going back all the way to the Middle Ages and lasting through the 19th century. It wasn’t always called corned beef, though. That didn’t come until the 17th century when the English coined the term. Continue reading

Dumplings are simply cooked dough. Each culture has their own version and they can be steamed, poached, boiled, baked or fried. When thinking dumpling, many will immediately gear towards the Asian cultures with their plentiful varieties, but there are so many more representations of the dumpling and most are available in Dallas.
When looking for the perfect dumpling look no further than a pierogi, the boiled or baked dish with Central European roots can be filled with meat, cheese, fruit and even sauerkraut. A popular filling in the United States is the venerable potato. Continue reading
